InvisaSwivels feedback

I see no advantage to the use of these swivels for my application. It is true that they are invisable in the water and lead free to help the environment but they take longer to tie on than conventional swivels because the holes are small and you have to make sure the line sets in the groove. This takes more time on the water.
Tying the shock leader directly to the main line is the preferred method but it takes me too long to do it on the water and I like to get back in the water ASAP after I break off a rig so I use small swivels to attach my main line to the fluorocarbon shock leader. The smallest and strongest swivels are Spro. I can tie a new rig in a flash with a swivel and the small swivels don't seem to bother the fish.
If your rig is going to last all day then the InvisaSwivel might be for you but if you need to replace lost rigs fequently then it is not.
